Editing § 10.2 NA2022

=== § 10.2 Leave Regulations ===
<li>The leave regulations in Subchapter 510 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual, insofar as such regulations establish wages, hours and
working conditions of employees covered by this Agreement, other than
MHAs, shall remain in effect for the life of this Agreement.</li>
<li>Career employees will be given preference over noncareer employees
when scheduling annual leave. This preference will take into considera-
tion that scheduling is done on a tour-by-tour basis and that employee
skills are a determining factor in this decision.</li>
<li>Article 30 of the National Agreement and Local Memoranda of Under-
standing provisions do not apply to MHAs, except as specifically refer-
enced in the 2022 National Agreement and as follows: During the local
implementation period, if properly raised in accordance with Article 30,
the parties will discuss whether to include provisions in the local memo-
randa of understanding to permit MHAs to apply for annual leave during
choice vacation periods, as defined in Article 10 of the National Agree-
ment. Granting leave under such provisions must be contingent upon the
MHA having a leave balance of at least forty (40) hours.</li>
(The preceding Section, Article 10.2, shall apply to Mail Handler Assis-
tant employees.)
